37 years ago today at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium, Michael Jackson performed “You Were There” for the first and only time—a song he co wrote as a deeply personal tribute to Sammy Davis Jr. on his 60th Anniversary Celebration.
One of the most graceful, heartfelt moments of his career. 🎤 🐐👑❤️🖤

My history with The Jacksons goes all the way back to 1979, when I first joined the brothers for their “Destiny Tour,” followed by the “Destiny/Off the Wall Tour,” the legendary “Triumph Tour” in 1981, and later the “Victory Tour” in 1984. Those were some of the most exciting and memorable years of my career!
“Can You Feel It” was one of the highlights of our “Triumph Tour,” opening the show with incredible excitement and energy! For this performance, I increased the tempo to recapture some of that powerful live feeling we shared onstage. Every time I play this song, it takes me right back to those days, the audiences, the excitement, and the incredible chemistry we had performing together.
I’m forever honored to have been part of “The Jacksons Live!” album, a recording that captured such a special period in our musical history and one that I continue to cherish to this day.
To all my Jackson brothers, I have nothing but fond memories, love, and respect for each of you. We shared some incredible times together, both onstage and off, and those memories will always remain close to my heart.
I dedicate this performance to my dear brothers Michael and Tito Jackson, whom we miss dearly. Your music, spirit, and legacy will continue to live on through all of us. Much love to you both, always! ❤️🥁

The Jacksons live album is a must have for every fan. My advice is to buy the LP and not the CD. The mastering on compact disc has very bad sound quality. It does not even come close to the master of the LP. And this is not a comparison based between analogue and digital.

It is either Doctor Who’s time machine the TARDIS or a Fiat Multipla. Fact is, these hearsay stories are interesting, but how do you present the evidence, if ever, in AI-times like these? Would you believe the footage?
Jay Stratton says there is a UFO ‘Craft’ which appears bigger on the inside than the outside 🛸👽
If this is true, it could rewrite everything we know about the laws of physics.

Many know another famous cover of this 1968 Barry Mann song, but Elvis charted higher overall - reaching #6 in the UK.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Two instruments that should never meet but when they do, you get this.
The kora is 300 years old. 21 strings made from a calabash and cow skin, from West Africa.
The cello is 500 years old. 4 strings, from 16th century Europe.
Different worlds with different histories but they speak the same language.
Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal from their album Chamber Music.

Muziekwinkel Good Times in Alkmaar stopt ermee. Ik maakte vorige week nog eenmaal letterlijk een rondje in de winkel. Een kleine video impressie: youtu.be/xXAHdqLsQok?is=Q4Yz…

It’s called a Zheng.
Apparently, it’s been around for centuries.
And Today is the first time I’ve ever seen one being played~

The late Rod Temperton. This sweet bastard wrote Thriller, Rock with You, Off the Wall, Yah Mo B There, Boogie Nights, Ladies’ Night, Give Me the Night, and Sweet Freedom. Recognize.
